Introduction
Introduction
When I grew up and had my first cone of coffee ice cream, I died and drifted to live in the stratosphere for some time. Still today, it is one of my favorite flavors. When my compulsive disorder to make ice creams kicked in, this coffee/cacao recipe was my first attempt. I think it turned out well. This recipe is not definitive, and I will continue to experiment with different milk-cream ratios and various sugars.
I'm not a fan of making egg custards; but that's my problem. Many ice creams I make have taken the Sicilian approach -- using starches to achieve texture, emulsification and smoothness.
I think you will enjoy this recipe, but experiment. Fine tune it to your hearts content.
